After her defeat in the Madrid Open final, tennis star Iga Swiatek admitted that her rival Aryna Sabalenka deserved the title as she played with great intensity.
No. 2 seed Sabalenka won the women's title in the Madrid Open tennis tournament after a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 victory over top-seeded Swiatek in a final that lasted two hours and 26 minutes, on Sunday, reports Xinhua.
"Congratulations, she deserved it. She always plays with great intensity. We're both having a very good season, and I think we'll see each other in a lot of finals," Swiatek was quoted as saying by Polish media.
